SPRING FEVER & Other Lesbian Encounters

JEAN ROBERTA'S WRITING IS CLEAN AND CRISP AND A PLEASURE TO READ." –ZANDER VINE, GOOD EADS

Here is a new collection of stories about women-loving women getting acquainted, falling in love, losing their illusions, and regaining hope for the future. Some of these stories have been published before, and some are still virginal. Some are about desire, and some are about satisfaction.

Although most of this collection fits loosely into the category of contemporary erotic romance, there is some historical fiction, some fantasy, and a ghost story. I’m never sure exactly where ghosts fit in because all fiction is believable on some level, and completely unreal by definition. Readers have a spectrum of beliefs about unseen spirits—and about deep soul connection, for that matter--and belief can waver from one moment to the next.

Regarding gender, all the major characters in these stories are women. Never fear. The men don’t take over. Our progress is currently challenged by a rising tide of hate toward everyone who is not a heterosexual white man in the top income bracket, but just as an exuberant bag of popcorn can’t return to being a handful of kernels, lesbians or queer women aren’t likely to go back to the invisibility of yesteryear.

What can be imagined can’t be unseen. Welcome to the world of Jean Roberta's imagination.

"Roberta’s short fiction is often hyper-realistic and emotionally intense. Having read it, I have a new appreciation for her versatility—as well as for that of her characters." Amazon 5star review
